From the form follows function department: You must see SIU artist Cheonae Kim's website (not to mention her art).
Who knew black and white boxes could be so dynamic and fascinating? Not to mention the funky font (Now with scrambled code-breaker motion!)
On a non-intellectual level I dig her art because it reminds me of the old computer game "Life", or the game we used to play on long car rides as a kid where you'd take turns marking over the line segments on a sheet of graph paper, trying to form boxes (and writing your initials in them when you made one) until you would run out of lines. The person with the most boxes would win. Yes, I grew up in the age of paper.
Cheonae says the site was created by a Japanese designer-friend. So not local talent. But he's got mad skillz.
Unfortunately, I don't think Cheonae worries a lot about keeping the site updated. Still, as a crazy blend of her art and someone else's design, it's chimera-licious!
